Chapter three
King Nos was sitting in his throne in front of the 10 advisors.
He was tired, but luckily there was only one thing left to discuss.
‘My Lord, the army is almost out of weapons’ The sergeant said.
‘Isn’t Townsend supposed to deliver in a week?’ Nos asked
‘Yes my Lord, but people have heard he hasn’t started yet and he won’t be able to make enough in this little time.’

King Nos started to think
after a while he snapped his fingers, saying: ‘Well, just give him some people to work for him, and a larger forgery.’
‘He is out of town for getting more materials because there is no more steel for sale within these city walls.’ Constantine said, the head of the House of Weapons.
Now King Nos wasn’t sure what to do, but after a while he had an idea ‘Hmm, y’know what, get the fastest horses and get him back and send the fastest horse of the batch to get the materials.’
‘Yes sir!’ The sergeant said before he ran to the door.
Now King Nos stood up from his throne, glad it was all done.

He saw his children come through the door.
First came Conrad, the selfless muscular guy, as some would call him.
Then he saw Catalina, the tall girl who always wanted to fight, but also liked drawing
But there also was Edmund, he was good-looking, but we didn’t do a good job at raising him. He was as spoiled as could be.

‘Hello kids, I’m finally done for today.’ He was exhausted.
‘Dad, could you come with me for a second?’ Edmund asked.
‘Uhm, sure.’ Nos and his son walked down the corridor, towards Edward’s room.
When Nos entered, he saw a short, blonde-haired girl who seemed to have a bit of an funny look to her.
Edmund hugged her and seemed genuinely happy, then put up his royal face and said to his father: ‘Dad, this is Fiora, my girlfriend.’
‘Good to meet you.’ Fiora said to Nos, while extending her hand for a handshake.
Nos took the hand and said: ‘Good to meet you too, I’m happy to now know where Edmund spends his time when he’s not taking care of his responsibilities.’
Edmund sighed.’

After that Grandpa Henry laughed and said: ‘That’s exactly what i said when i met your father for the first time!’
I chuckled and continued with my story:

‘Anyway, after that encounter, King Nos wanted to go on a hunt with this sons.
‘Dad, let me join you.’, he heard his daughter say.
‘You know i don’t want you to Catalina, please just go back to your drawings.’ King Nos said to her.
‘Dad, i may just be a girl, but i can take care of myself, i will hunt on my own!’ Catalina yelled when King Nos walked away.
Catalina was angry, angry that she wasn’t accepted as a member of the royal family, angry that she wasn’t allowed to hunt with her father and most of all, angry that she couldn’t be her full self.
She stormed to her room and slammed the door when she entered.
She was happy she at least got the chance to decorate her room by herself.
She would draw anything and hang it up on the wall if it looked good.
Any other woman would think of it a childish, but it was who she was.
She would take a look at herself with a weapon in the mirror, and be able to replicate it on paper without any mistakes.

Now though, she was mad, so she started drawing her father with very evil details and clothing.
After some time passed, and she had drawn a paper full of little drawings of her father being evil, she heard a knock on the door.
She sighed, ‘Come on in!’.
Her servant, Caiside came in, and after seeing her slumped down, he asked her: ‘Are you okay?’
‘Yeah, just angry.’ she said.
When Caiside asked her why, she answered: ‘It’s just that my father doesn’t want me to join him on his hunts.’
Caiside made an understanding grunt.

‘Well, he asks if you want to join the family for dinner.’ he said, ‘Maybe you could talk to him about it, maybe convince him to let you join the next time.’
this sounded as a good idea to Catalina.173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOogLHtlOeM
